Living my peak life

Greater Tierra del Fuego is just stuffed with mountains.  Angular peaks that alternate with glaciated valleys carved out about 10000 years ago.  Lots of glaciers, lots of glacial lakes.  While they may not reach Himalayan heights or even rival the main spine of the northern Andes in altitude, they are freaking technical ascents.  Lots of people at the lower approaches, even in this off-season, but far fewer once the grade gets more vertical.
